Life’s Scales

Proverbs 11:1 Dishonest scales are an abomination to the Lord, But a just weight is His delight.

Integrity is
What you do
When nobody
Is watching you.

Integrity is a trait taught
By both God and man
Integrity is built through life
Going against successes plan.

Solomon wrote of integrity
He wrote of it’s gain
Solomon wrote of perversity
How dishonesty brings shame.

The world teaches do
Whatever to get ahead
God’s Word teaches dishonesty
Finds the rich people dead.

American dreams take us
Down filthy roads to make a deal
Doing whatever it takes
From clients we steal.

We make profits and such
We smile at our gold
Have we gained everything
Have our souls been sold?

Everything the world values
Heaven regards as shame
Are we investing with Satan
Our heart’s desires to blame?

This world will perish
All in it will be no more
Nothing will matter
When Jesus closes the door.

Time will forever change
When you leave this life
You will see the cost
Of your gains through strife.

We are all measured
By our integrity you see
God knows what is going on
Behind the curtains of we.

He knows our hearts
Why we do what we do
He is measuring our integrity
Preparing eternity for us too.

On our honest scales of life
Not of salvation you see
But of our thoughts and works
Will measure our eternity.

He will place our life
In the balance of integrity
Souls headed for heaven
As his disciples will be.

False scales of dishonesty
Never were His to begin
Chasing money and pleasures
Satan leading them deeper in sin.

You know your life
God knows your heart
Your integrity draws closer
Or it tears you apart.
